Some folks here have need for the floating point speed of Fortran but would rather not write a complete mac interface in MacFortran if possible, so... - Has anyone succeded in calling the fortran fp routines from another lanquage? - Anyone written speedy fp routines in assembly they'd like to share? - Is there a Fortran compatible with MPW? - Is McFace so nice that writing an interface in Fortran is a pleasant and rewarding experience? - Is there another solution I'm missing? Please note that hardware upgrades are not acceptable. They want their program to perform reasonably on a vanilla Mac. thanks in advance for any and all info..

You might want to check "MacTran" out. I just saw a demo of it today, and my impression is that it provides "easy" access to most Toolbox stuff. The program provides a well integrated debugger/editor/compiler environment as well. For information contact DCM Data Products, 817-870-2202. MacTran is $199 but discounts are available for educational uses and bulk purchases... I am in no way involved with these people, I'm just passing the info along. Ali Ozer, ali@rocky.stanford.edu
